I for one adore this show and would miss it greatly were it cancelled. It is MY favourite show by far. I have watched it since season 1 and have not missed an episode. You might not miss it Midori but many of us would be crushed if it were cancelled. These dancers are so talented and I love this platform for the art of dance. For those of us that don’t live close to big cities shows like this provide us with an opportunity to witness art. As for Paula impacting ratings it was not tweeted she would be on the show until two days before. I hardly think that was enough and broad enough advertizing to make any impact. It was fun to see her again and hear her brand of goofiness on the show. She does know dance though.

I love this show and I hope it continues forever but this season there just anyone one dancer that really grabs me like there has been in the past seasons. Last night when I was watching I didn’t even remember the names of 1/2 the dancers. I’m just still waiting for that one dancer who wows me. Its been kind of ho hum on the dances too. But I hope this show gets another season! It’s my favorite thing about summer!

If anything, I tuned more of the show out than normal because of her and the other guest judge, Erin Andrews. I wish they’d pick one permanent third judge or at the very least stick to the ones that actually know wtf they’re talking about instead of big celebrity fans shouting praises to every contestant.

Midori-why do you troll SYTYCD threads and spew hate and how horrible the show 5 or 6 times? Were you cut at green mile or something? Hate=Strong Emotion. Don’t Care=Don’t mention it, and change the channel. #GrowTFup

This season is fantastic so far. LOVE Fik-Shun. No favorite yet because they are all amazing. Was hoping the crazy format last week would bring better ratings last night-hopefully soon. They have an awesome season planned!

I was disappointed in Paula. She’s so much more knowledgeable about dance than she is music, and yet she was as nonsensical as she was on Idol. And WTF was Erin Andrews doing there? I’m tired of the guest judges who don’t know about dance (Wayne Brady, JTF, Hannah Simone). Bring back Adam Shankman, Debbie Allen and Mia Michaels!

While I may agree about Hannah Simone and others who have been on that are only there to promote their shows, there is some validity to having people who have worked as dancers and been on Broadway (among other large venue stages) as dancers being judges.
Wayne Brady has been in productions of Chicago and Rent as well as multiple shows in Las Vegas (he sings and dances)
JTF has worked on and off Broadway and while he admittedly isn’t the greatest dancer, he does have professional Broadway experience.
Christina Applegate (which you didn’t mention but who is often mentioned in other places) helped to found the Pussy Cat Dolls along with Carmen Electra. She has also done Broadway and has been dancing her whole life.
In previous season there was Megan Mullally is a classically trained Ballet dancer.
So just because they don’t make their living as dancers doesn’t mean they don’t know anything about dance. Sometimes they give better critiques than the actual judges. I certainly prefer Wayne Brady and Christina Applegate’s reviews over what I typically hear from Adam Shankman!
